Hospice software helps manage clinical, financial, and administrative data for hospice agencies, allowing hospice staff to dedicate more time toward patient care. Hospices must strike a balance between running a business effectively and delivering quality care with compassion. The software captures and consolidates administrative data, and stores records and analytics centrally. This helps managers and administrators access the data in a few clicks.
Hospice software is a specialized subset of home health care software or private duty home care software.
Hospice agencies need to invest in software that allows users to easily access end-of-life documentation, such as advance directives and physician orders for life-sustaining treatment (POLST).
To qualify for inclusion in the Hospice category, a product must:
Help simplify clinical processes with tools for managing patient care, administering medication, automating alerts, and calculating risk assessments, among other capabilities
Provide tools for managing payment, including payroll reporting, Medicare tracking, billing compliance, and revenue cycle management
Generate customizable forms for a variety of documentation needs, including Medicaid waivers, consent forms, assessments, dietary plans, social service paperwork, and more
Grant access to employee and patient data to improve the efficiency of scheduling tasks, clinicians, personnel, and other resources
